Journal ArticleDOI
pH-Dependent Thickness Behavior of Sequentially Adsorbed Layers of Weak Polyelectrolytes
TL;DR: A detailed study of the role that solution pH plays in the layer-by-layer processing of the weak polyelectrolytes poly(acrylic acid) and poly(allylamine hydrochoride) was carried out as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electroluminescence from CdSe quantum‐dot/polymer composites
TL;DR: The electroluminescence of CdSe nanocrystallites (quantum dots) incorporated into thin films (1000 A) of polyvinyl carbazole (PVK) and an oxadiazole derivative (t‐Bu‐PBD) and sandwiched between ITO and Al electrodes was studied in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable Superhydrophobic Coatings from Polyelectrolyte Multilayers
TL;DR: In this paper, a honeycomb-like polyelectrolyte multilayer surface overcoated with silica nanoparticles was demonstrated to achieve super-hydrophobicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular-Level Processing of Conjugated Polymers. 4. Layer-by-Layer Manipulation of Polyaniline via Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions
W. B. Stockton,Michael F. Rubner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used FTIR spectroscopy measurements to confirm a high level of hydrogen bonding between polyaniline and the nonionic polymer in the multilayer films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling Bilayer Composition and Surface Wettability of Sequentially Adsorbed Multilayers of Weak Polyelectrolytes
TL;DR: Variations in the linear charge density of a weak polyacid brought about by controlling solution pH in a layer-by-layer sequential adsorption process were used to systematically control the layer thickness, level of layer interpenetration, and surface wettability of sequentially adsorbed layers of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(allylamine) (PAH) as mentioned in this paper.
